Question

How can I display a calendar control (date picker) in Oracle forms 9/10?

Answer 1

Most forms projects I've worked already have a date picker, implemented as a separate form - e.g. I think one gets generated by HeadStart. I think it's also been implemented using a separate canvas in the standard forms template.

However, this question also asked on ittoolbox and answered here:

From where you can get instructions on how to use a java bean to implement it.
